Court and File Trolleys – Organise, Transport, and Streamline Your Document Handling

In legal offices, courts, government departments, and administrative environments, managing large volumes of paperwork efficiently and securely is crucial.

  • Improve workflow by making document movement smoother and quicker

  • Provide secure transport options for sensitive or confidential files

Whether you’re moving case files between departments, transporting evidence records, or managing archival documents, court and file trolleys from Verdex can help simplify the process and protect your paperwork.

How to Choose the Right Court and File Trolley

When selecting a trolley, consider the nature of your documents, security needs, and workspace layout to ensure maximum efficiency and safety.

File Type and Size

Are you moving suspension files, ring binders, or legal folders? Vertical file trolleys suit suspension files best, while multi-tier shelves handle a variety of folder types.

Load Capacity

Choose a trolley rated to carry the weight of your typical loads. Overloading can damage the trolley or cause handling issues.

Castor and Wheel Type

  • Rubber Castors: Quiet and non-marking, ideal for office floors

  • Swivel Castors: Provide excellent manoeuvrability in tight corridors or offices

  • Locking Castors: Prevent trolley movement when parked or during loading/unloading

Frame and Material

  • Powder-Coated Steel: Durable, resistant to scratches and corrosion, commonly used in government or legal offices

  • Aluminium: Lightweight but strong, good for frequent movement or multiple floors

  • Stainless Steel: Suitable for environments requiring hygiene and easy cleaning

Security Features

If transporting confidential case files, look for models with lockable doors or compartments to comply with privacy and security regulations.

Additional Features

  • Handles on both ends for easy two-way use

  • Adjustable shelving or dividers for custom organisation

  • Compact size to fit lifts, narrow corridors, or busy hallways

  • Accessories such as document holders or file rails for increased efficiency

 

Workplace Safety Tips When Using Court and File Trolleys

Proper use and maintenance of court and file trolleys are essential to protect users and documents:

  • Do not overload beyond the manufacturer’s capacity

  • Load files evenly to maintain trolley balance and prevent tipping

  • Use push rather than pull techniques to improve control and reduce strain

  • Keep trolley paths clear of obstacles and trip hazards

  • Engage brakes or locks when the trolley is stationary

  • Regularly inspect castors and frame for wear and replace as needed

Staff training on safe handling practices can further reduce workplace injuries and protect valuable documents.
